and because in other parts of the country, there is stiff competition for spots, and the legendary Flycatchers Ultimate Club from South Australia missed out,
SAFDA are proud to be hosting
"B-Grade Mixed Nationals!!!"
To be held at the same time as their superior cousins tournament - Oct 8 - 10.
This may be a chance for all those guys who were overseas playing beach to get the band back together, head south (but further west) and take out a win. Or maybe Griffdawgs will head down for their first trip away.
To read more, head to the AFDA trash talk page and get amongst it.
And now, Ben Folds will perform for you - "Adelaide"!!!

Adelaide
On a plane
Far from the united states
Of LA
Dropping in from outer space
Takes a day
Now I see the Bogans
At the motor race
Here you know the world could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Going where the air is clear
There's better beer in Adelaide
Charlie L. Smith's forty
Someone spiked my rice
The rest, history
Now I am a fixture down
Rundle Mall
Watching as the locals pass
Silver balls
I can see their eyes are round
They're pointed down
They scan the spanning sidewalks
Learning that there is no hurry
Fuss or worry
Adelaide
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
It's raining
In Adelaide
A face is waiting in a window
A voice says
Why Adelaide
You could live anywhere and I say
Because I want to
Because I want to
I really really want to
And you know the earth could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Really got to make it to the finish line
Get the record done on time
Pack the bags
And catch a flight
And you can kiss my ass goodbye
I'm in Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide

Go South (Young Man)
As we all can see, the poll is in and 53% of voters think it's fair to drive to the Gold Coast for a game against Slamtown once a season. Thanks to the Byron boys for their contributions.
We here at the Imperial Palace been sniffing around in dumptsers and loitering outside public change rooms for a lead on the Black Betty campaign, but have been thus far denied an interview from the leadership, perhaps due to a perceived lack of diversity. So we're still waiting on that one.
In other news, the reportedly incredible Tessa Binley has been successfully running Australia's first Youth League in Adelaide. Looks like enough players for a pickup game at the moment, but it's attracted some media attention. This clip was aired on ABC #63 last week(?).

SAM* vs AFDA
Some of you might know about the afda.com Photo of the Month "competition". Members can upload photos to the site, and other members can then vote on them.
The winning photo of each month usually gets posted onto the front page of afda.com.
I say usually because occasionally, a more risque-shall-we-say photo gets posted (such as the famous [not very safe for work folks] nipple-medalion-gate scandal** of a few years ago) and of course, Ultimate players are very juvenile and will vote for that kind of stuff (we're looking at you Mathew "Happy Birthday" Eastburn).
Now, at the moment afda.com is the front page to our sport, so alas it's a little bit editorial about the photos that get on the front page.
And rightly so, there's other more appropriate places for such photos ...
...like the Brisbane Ultimate Blog!
So here's this month's winner, posted in solidarity with the SAM* nudists.
There's plenty of entertainment in following certain players' lines of sight there. Remember that I've heard on the grapevine that the guys you can see wearing shirts have mostly taken their pants off. And insert obligatory 'shrinkage' jokes there too.
I'm sure plenty of you will be over there this month putting you vote in for 'mazing Mike's aerial antics.
*Some of you might know a S.A.M. as a Surface to Air Missile (and if you do, that's kind of amusing). But others might know S.A.M. as South Australian Men.
**I mean this in the most happy-fun sense! :)
